For this kind of thing I'd highly recommend using Google sheets with dextrous, as this kind of thing becomes super easy

Do you mean you've tried to print cards?

Hmm get some screenshots of what you mean and hit me up on the discord and I should be able to get it sorted for you.

Hmmm this is a good question actually - I'm not sure sorry. I'd recommend reaching out to mpc and asking to clarify this as it would be annoying to get this wrong in the print

If i had to guess i'd say yes it's the right side when you look at the front

that is also what my conclusion is. thank you

Thanks for your kind words!

Ha thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Glad your having fun with it!

Good to hear!

Good question. So you can make your own custom text style for that. Checkout the tutorial on the tutorials page on the website. Hit me up in the discord if you can't figure out out 👍

@@DextrousGameDesign It seems like some of the files were corrupted. I redownloaded them, and the set I selected for the first pass was also no good, however the second set was fine (all the card backs were the same, so for this part it doesn't matter if I lose a few). Issue likely comes from it being such a large set in total, with 1,111 items needing to be exported from Dextrous. Fortunately I don't have any other component as large as that. But if files get corrupted on a set where the back matters, or it's the fronts I lose, then I'll have to find another solution, or try exporting again, and hope it works out, I guess. I was looking at ways to convert the pngs into a pdf, but without the same format, I don't know if it'd work. For the rest of this component, I'm going to try using the same pdf file it created, since it's already there. And that should go faster as well, since it doesn't have to re-create it. Service has a limit of 198 cards, so I have to do it a number of times.

You mean text shrink? By default text icons are based on the size of their text context - I'm not sure I can think of a situation where you'd want them to stay the same size even if text around it shrinks - that would do weird things to the lineheight - but feel free to hit me up in the discord and convince me otherwise 😊👍

Glad you like it!

You're welcome! Glad you liked it.

Hey mate thanks for reaching out. Without seeing your layout I can't be sure but here are things to check: 1. You have icon zones inside a flex container zone in the layout. 2. For each icon zone you have enabled auto show/hide 3. In the table if you don't have an image (ie tree.png) for a cell the icon zone should hide automatically (assuming it's an image zone - if it's a text zone it will hide if there's no text). If you can't get this working hit me up on the discord and I can help you out 😊

@@DextrousGameDesign I had "show zone by default" enabled. I just switched it to auto show/hide and it works just as I wanted. Thanks a million for the quick response and this amazing tool, I can already tell this is gonna help set up my future playtests. Definitely gonna purchase a subscription to this!

Awesome! Glad to hear it's working 😊👍

Glad you liked it!

Glad you like it!

Our pleasure!

Hi there! This is almost always because: 1. Margins are set to default rather than none. 2. Scale is not at 100% or you have shrink to fit page enabled. Check those two out for me and if you have no luck hit me up on the discord and I can investigate further. 😊👍

@@DextrousGameDesign Thank you! The problem has been solved. The margins were not at "none".

Brilliant great to hear 👍

So you just add another image zone to the layout you're using for the backs. (In the layout editor).

Great to hear!

It's so new that it is not even out yet lol. It will be in a few hours (this video dropped a touch early by mistake). As for your question - I'm not entirely sure of the use case for this but you could use max-height to make sure it grows only up to a certain point yes. 😊👍

@@DextrousGameDesign Ah good, I was just trying to troubleshoot why I wasn't seeing the flex option 😆 makes sense now

@@v_d-_-b_v It's live now :)

Tbh it's hard to say because I'm not exactly clear what you're describing here. If you send me a sketch on the discord of how these components fit together I could give you some better advice. Having said that, here's some things to bear in mind: -If you do bleed like I show in this tutorial - Dextrous already adds on to the canvas area for you - watch closely! :D -Bleed is generally for when you're printing with a printer who is also cutting the cards for you (it's the margin for error essentially that they need). -If these 4 player mats are going to be printed as separate cards by a printer and then cut, you'll almost certainly need bleed. -On the other hand, if you're printing at home for prototyping purposes I'd recommend setting the card up for bleed in the layout editor, but then exporting with no bleed as it means you have to make less cuts (because the cards will share the same edges). -You can always add bleed later if you need it, but just be aware that if you want any background images to be *bigger than the size of cards/player mats* - this is the real mind-bender with bleed that confuses people - you need more art than you think essentially.

Yep you can 😊 can be a real space-saver

@@DextrousGameDesign Thank you for the response! it's a great feature 🙌

Hmm not entirely sure what you mean sorry. Have you checked your csv link is only for the one tab in Google sheets? It also takes Google a few minutes to update the csv with new data so it's possible you're just pulling it in a touch too early? Hit me up on the discord if neither of these fixes it for ya. 😊👍

Yeah absolutely, you can just drag images from your desktop into the image folder to upload, and then insert them inline like I showed in the vid.

Yep of course. You can drag images from your desktop into the image folder to upload, then use them inline like I showed in the vid. 😊👍

​@@DextrousGameDesign man how is it so easy...? 😅

What you would do is get the icon size/alignment perfect and then copy the whole thing (including size info) to a variable so you don't need to do the size stuff everywhere.

@@DextrousGameDesign Ill try this thx !

Huzzah!

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear! I'll try to do some more soon

Hey there! 1. Yep urls don't work, instead you need to upload images to Dextrous - watch the first few tutorials if you need guidance on this. 2. If you're talking about just adding/removing a zone on some cards you can just turn on auto show/hide for that zone - then if it doesn't have any data in its cell (ie for card rows 4 and 6 for example) it will automatically hide itself. If you need other style stuff beyond showing and hiding see the tutorial on unique styles for cards.

Great question! Curved text isn't a thing yet as of oct 2024 sorry, but it's on the list so we will eventually implement it 😊👍

Not entirely sure what you mean sorry! :P

@@DextrousGameDesign You started by saying "Over here I have a project, I've got some cards that have been optimized for bleed". Do you really think that is the beginning? So I want to follow a tutorial, so it stands to reason that if you don't explain what we're looking at, or how you got to this point, I have to go elsewhere to find out how get to the place this tutorial starts. Now you should be entirely sure what I mean.

Thankyou!

Let us know what you're struggling with and we can help! 😊

@@DextrousGameDesign I got it solved, Thank you <3

i guess for text i can create a text style, but for objects (icons, borders) i'm not sure how to reference an RGB value or the like

Hey there Justin. I'm not entirely sure what you mean here sorry. Your style column should be in your Google sheet of that makes sense? Then when you add rows they'll always be with the same card... Am i understanding you correctly?

@@DextrousGameDesign AHHH, i'm still working of an uploaded CSV. so either i need to migrate to google sheet OR i can add a column with the proper style naming? that would be very handy. Thank you! I guess i assumed the style column only existed in dextrous itself.

You should be able to change the container settings of the parent text style here to "inline block" then it should work. Hit me up on the discord if you're having trouble.

Thanks for the kind words! This one is in development - you can definitely playtest it if you want - hit me up on the discord 😊👍

"Quick and dirty" is a common phrase 😅. There's nothing sus about it heheh. Sorry to hear you got kicked out of the library though! That's rough. 😢

Oh no!

This one should be resolved. It was a temporary glitch.

@@DextrousGameDesign Thanks guys! I’ve actually joined your discord and asked that question as well and you guys have been amazing thank you very much !

Yep in the component settings menu you can activate a description column for exactly this

Should work on mac. Join the discord and we can sort you out 😊👍

You're welcome 😊

Those coloured circles are actually images. So it's just 3 image zones in positions 1, 2, 3, and then I select which image I want to show at each zone on a card by card basis. If that doesn't make sense, watch the first few tutorials then it should make more sense.

@@DextrousGameDesign Oh! They are images! That makes sense. The thanks!

I'm not a lawyer and it'd be worth reaching out to Marvel, but afail it's likely ok to just print cards for your personal use. It's usually selling stuff with other's IP that is the big no no.

Oh wait i see, you're wondering if mpc would print the cards - definitely send them an email to double check - they might have a policy against it yep

Sorry I'm on my phone so i assumed you meant just printing at home

Hey mate. This usually happens if you're uploading backs for Screentop as well but it's not quite setup right. If you untick 'backs' on the Dex export page when exporting to Screentop page you should be ok. Otherwise if you do want cards with backs you need to make sure you'll need to make sure to upload the back asset (same name as fronts but with the '_back' at the end), for example: component name_back Check out the written tutorial guide here: www.dextrous.com.au/Tutorials/#exporting-to-screentop I have also responded in the Discord, so hit me up there when you're ready etc. :)
